Gary Varvel for October 23, 2021

He is trying to save lives. Unlike the previous person who did not care.

Varvel revels at the stupidity of anti-vaxers.

If you ignore the really stupid people, you’re likely to do better than otherwise. Pollsters, though, don’t ignore that category.

Peculiar (not funny) how so many political big shots [pun intended] that rage against vaccine mandates got the jabs as soon as they could … Might it be they are using the issue cynically?? Naaaaw … can’t be … I’m ashamed to even suggest it! (—

If everyone had the sense to get vaccinated on their own vaccination mandates wouldn’t be necessary.

Headline – “New polling from Gallup shows that Biden’s approval rating dropped from 56% in Q1 to 44.7% in Q3 which represents an 11.3% drop that has not been experienced by any president since World War II”. Good luck in the midterms, losers!

Vaccine mandates are actually pretty popular.

Biden is doing what he can to protect the health of the American people no matter what it does to his poll ratings. That’s called courage.

The Mandates are working, ! ( let the blow back begin )

Idiot republicans won’t vax. They are killing each other so much they are becoming a smaller minority, hopefully they will never win another election ever.

Like most anyone reading this I’ve received a variety of vaccinations over my life span, plus flu shots and the ilk. Never has it been a political issue until the right decided it could be used as a rebellious issue. Going in we were told US deaths could possibly reach 50,000-100,00. Then the resistance kicked in and we now over 725,000 Covid deaths. Why fund a military if we are just going to kill ourselves?

I thought I read somewhere that vax mandates actually poll well

Right. Mandates are bad. So let’s do away with seat belt laws and speed limits and leave it up to people’s common sense to drive carefully! See how that works!

But he still polls higher than tRump did on his best day.

Once more, President Biden can mandate that workers in the Executive Branch be vaccinated. That’s the extent of his power. Private businesses (including Faux News) and local and state governments are responsible for instituting mandates on their workers. Anyone saying President Biden is instituting a national vaccine mandate is either deliberately trying to stir up people or just ignorant.

I rather doubt his war on Covid with vaccines has much to do with his lowering poll numbers. There, he’s shown real success in curbing the spread of the virus, rather than ever blooming death rates that were part of the Trump tenure. It’s more likely the polls are affected by his difficulty with his own Dem party and inability to get things passed into law. But, compromises are being made and the size of the major bill is coming down to meet the more conservative members. Hopefully, those numbers won’t be too low so as to keep the opposite side, the progressives, for bolting. Here’s waiting and seeing.

I guess Varvel is rooting for the virus.

When President Clinton was in office, the conservatives complained daily that the president was letting pols decide how he would lead. (normal hypocrisy)

OSHA has yet to role out the mandate that Biden cabal put together to try and circumvent the Constitution. They know it won’t stand so they’re slow-walking it and hoping the cases drop enough so they can pull it back and say it’s not necessary any longer.

It is ridiculous (and greatly damaging) that McConnell can say a magic word (filibuster) and stop the country in its tracks. This needs to be fixed.

Again, Varvel revels in his ignorance!

“We WANT them infected!” Still.

Biden has yet to make a vaccination mandate, but he should.

Gary, you don’t believe in science but it still exists:

Meanwhile I don’t believe in your hateful imaginary sky daddy but I continue to be here.

I recently researched the historians ranking of past presidents from best to worst. I feel I must apologize to the Right. Trump did better than I thought he would. He came in second to last.

That depends on who you’re pulling, you’re going to start seeing an influx of lawsuits from people who have caught covid because their states are fighting mandates and masks for those in the public sector.

Polls show that a solid majority of Americans support vaccine mandates. So no, that ain’t it.

If Biden goes any lower he’ll be standing on top of Trump’s head.

Biden’s poll numbers sink down to Trump levels, and the Trumpers who used to deny that it meant anything suddenly claim it means everything…

If the American education system wasn’t broken, mandates would not be necessary.

It’s too bad Qupublicans are uneducated.

The economy is one of the prime reasons for Biden’s low approval, and his handling of Covid-19 is one of his highest approval issues … the opposite of Varvel’s false assertion.

Just get the freakin’ shot you wuss!

No lie there.

Egads, an honest political cartoon.

The disgusting old fool.

Like wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood.

SNL reminded Old Joe his polls are sinking….fast!

Varvel is all in favor of “Give me Liberty or Give me death”.

He and his ilk have the liberty to not get Vaccinated and Die.

The problem is they will likely take out the Vaccinated elderly with them. Like Colin Powell.
